The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“HOW ABOUT A FEW JOBS IN AMERICA?” mentioning the U.S. Dept of Labor was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H3396 on April 16, 1996.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
HOW ABOUT A FEW JOBS IN AMERICA?
(Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, the Department of Labor continues to amaze me with these new job listings. Check this out: Box bender ball warper, fish smoker, top screw nut roaster, impregnator, worm picker blank maker, hooker laster. Does that mean there is a hooker quicker job? If that is not enough to file your chapter 7, how about a slime plant operator helper? How about a wax ball knockout worker?
Unbelievable, Mr. Speaker, when American workers become box bending, ball warping, nut roasting top screws, it is evident everybody is getting their fish smoked. How about a few jobs in America? Eight million jobs. What do they pay, Mr. Speaker? Five dollars an hour? I yield back the balance of these jobs.
